The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dissociated itself from its members who were on rampage across the country, seizing public properties.
The rampaging youth invaded the Tema Habour in the early hours of Monday demanding to be given control of some key installations there.
According to Starr News sources at the port, the errant supporters of the NPP, had picketed the facility since Saturday, when Nana Akufo-Addo was installed the fifth president of the Fourth Republic.
They are demanding that all national security operatives manning the Golden Jubilee terminal, Reefer and Atlas yards be withdrawn for them to take over.
There were similar reports in Laterbiokoshie where about 100 youth stormed the Kwame Nkrumah Flats threatening to evict their occupants as parts of Tamale and Kumasi were not also sparred the mayhem.
Commenting on the reports in an interview on Starr Today, the deputy General Secretary of the NPP, Nana Obiri-Boahen dissociated the party from its rioting members.
He said: “I can tell you on authority that whatever they are doing, they are doing so on the frolic of their own [and] it doesn’t have the support and blessing of the party.”
“The leadership of party, we dissociate ourselves from these actions,” he added, calling on the supporters to exercise the maximum restraint and be law abiding and allow the system to work.
